Finance Minister Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam has appealed to French businesses to remain in Ghana, assuring them that the government is working to improve the business climate, including addressing concerns about tax-related challenges and alleged harassment by Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) officials.
At the Annual Cocktail event with the French business community and the launch of the France-Ghana Economic Report 2023-2024, held at the French Ambassador’s residence in Accra, Dr. Amin Adam urged members of the French Chamber of Commerce to reconsider any plans to relocate their operations. He emphasized that measures are being taken to resolve issues affecting foreign investors.
“I want to appeal to you to continue to stay in Ghana because we are addressing all the issues that you have raised with me,” Dr. Amin Adam said.
He highlighted government action taken to withdraw GRA officials accused of harassing businesses. “Issues relating to taxes and harassment of businesses by tax collectors, you will notice, have been resolved. We’ve had to withdraw all the tax collectors who were allegedly harassing businesses from those centres of operation, and so you won’t see them anymore,” he added.
The Finance Minister’s remarks were part of ongoing efforts to reassure foreign investors that the government remains committed to creating a supportive, stable environment for business growth in Ghana.
